Hommes, climats et environnements de la Péninsule arabique à l'Holocène.
No full textThe evolution of Holocene human communities in the Arabian Peninsula appears very different from that of neighbouring areas. Until the 4th millennium ВС, it seems characterized by an almost exclusively hunting-gathering economy. This synthesis makes use of an admitedly still insufficient set of data to analyze the relations between the evolution of these populations and various factors of climatic and environmental changes during the Holocene. These include the existence of a mid-Holocene more humid episode that is still to be accurately dated, changes in groundwater availability and, for the coastal areas, variations in sea levels. We argue the evolution of human communities is not the result of a direct response to these transformations, nor is it an attenuated echo to the adoption of the neolithic economy in the Fertile Crescent or, later, the products of direct influences from the urban societies of the Ancient Orient. Taking into account these factors, we emphasize the elements of a local evolution of the Holocene hunter-gatherers societies of Arabia, grounded on their own adaptative strategies to the highly constraining environments on which live.L'évolution du peuplement des régions arides de la Péninsule arabique à l'Holocène présente des caractéristiques très différentes de celle des régions avoisinantes, avec notamment l'apparente persistance, jusqu'au cours du quatrième millénaire, d'une économie exclusivement fondée sur la chasse et la cueillette. La présente synthèse, fondée sur des données encore partielles, tente d'analyser l'évolution de ce peuplement en le situant par rapport aux facteurs climatiques et environnementaux de l'Holocène, à savoir l'existence d'une période plus humide à l'Holocène moyen dont les dates restent discutées, l'évolution des nappes phréatiques et, pour les zones côtières, les fluctuations des niveaux marins. Elle vise à montrer que l'évolution du peuplement n'est pas le résultat de réponses directes à ces transformations, pas davantage qu'elle n'est un écho tardif de l'adaptation d'une économie néolithique dans les régions du Croissant fertile ou plus tard le produit direct des influences venues des sociétés urbaines de l'Orient ancien. Sans négliger ces facteurs, nous proposons les éléments de l'analyse d'une évolution propre aux chasseurs-cueilleurs de l'Arabie Holocène, en fonction de leurs stratégies d'adaptation aux milieux particulièrement contraignants qu'elles exploitent.Cleuziou S., Tosi Maurizio.

Going Beyond Counting First Authors in Author Co-citation Analysis
Full text linkThe present study examines one of the fundamental aspects of author co-citation analysis (ACA) - the way co-citation
counts are defined. Co-citation counting provides the data on which all subsequent statistical analyses and mappings
are based, and we compare ACA results based on two different types of co-citation counting - the traditional type that
only counts the first one among a cited work's authors on the one hand and a non-traditional type that takes into
account the first 5 authors of a cited work on the other hand. Results indicate that the picture produced through this non-traditional author co-citation counting contains more coherent author groups and is therefore considerably clearer. However, this picture represents fewer specialties in the research field being studied than that produced through the traditional first-author co-citation counting when the same number of top-ranked authors is selected and analyzed. Reasons for these effects are discussed
Variations on the Author
Full text link“Variations on the Author” discusses two of Eduardo Coutinho’s recent films (Um Dia na Vida, from 2010, and Últimas Conversas, posthumously released in 2015) and their contribution to the general question of documentary authorship. The director’s filmography is characterized by a consistent yet self-effacing form of authorial self-inscription: Coutinho often features as an interviewer that rather than express opinions propels discourses; an interviewer that is good at listening. This mode of self-inscription characterizes him as an author who is not expressive but who is nonetheless markedly present on the screen. In Um Dia na Vida, however, Coutinho is completely absent form the image, while Últimas Conversas, on the contrary, includes a confessional prologue that moves the director from the margins to the center of his films. This article examines the ways in which these works stand out in the filmography of a director who offers new insights into the notion of cinematic authorship
Appropriate Similarity Measures for Author Cocitation Analysis
Full text linkWe provide a number of new insights into the methodological discussion about author cocitation analysis. We first argue that the use of the Pearson correlation for measuring the similarity between authors’ cocitation profiles is not very satisfactory. We then discuss what kind of similarity measures may be used as an alternative to the Pearson correlation. We consider three similarity measures in particular. One is the well-known cosine. The other two similarity measures have not been used before in the bibliometric literature. Finally, we show by means of an example that our findings have a high practical relevance.information science;Pearson correlation;cosine;similarity measure;author cocitation analysis
Typology and Socioeconomical Implications of Entomological Finds from some Ancient Near Eastern Sites
No full textOnce screening and floatation systems have been adopted in an excavation, most ancient sites in the Near East and Iran have been providing us with well-preserved remains of insects and other arthropods to an extent as large as in turf deposits of western Europe. The present paper is based on results from floatation works carried out at Shahr-i Sokhta (Sistan, Iran), Tepe Hasanlu (Azerbaijan) and Tel Baroda in Ctesiphon. Among others is here discussed the better feasibility of hand-operated floatation techniques for the specific recovery of insect remains. Primarily on the basis of the Shahr-i Sokhta finds the authors enlist the genera or species mostly frequent in a protohistorical assemblage and their utility to the reconstruction of early environment and economy.Depuis l'utilisation du tamisage et de la flottation en archéologie, la plupart des sites anciens au Proche-Orient et en Iran ont livré autant de restes bien conservés d'insectes et autres arthropodes que les dépots de tourbe d'Europe Occidentale.
Cet article utilise les résultats des travaux de flottation effectués à Shahr-i Sokhta (Sistan, Iran), Tepe Hasanlu (Azerbaijan) et Tel Baroda à Ctesiphon.
Entre autres techniques, celles mettant en œuvre la flottation semblent les plus appropriées pour recueillir les restes d'insectes.
Les auteurs, se fondant surtout sur les résultats de Shahr-i Sokhta, font une liste des genres et des espèces les plus fréquents dans un assemblage protohistorique et leur utilité dans la reconstruction de l'environnement et de l'économie de ces périodes.Costantini Lorenzo, Tosi Maurizio, Vigna Taglianti Augusto.
